976 CE

Constantinople’s emperor John Tzimisces had led successful campaigns in Syria and Palestine during 974 and 975 against the Fatimids, who check the imperial advance at Jerusalem at the beginning of 976.

At the news of the emperor’s death on January 10, the Empire ceases hostilities and withdraws, bringing the war to an abrupt close.
